Fun-Filled Weekend!

So, a lot has happened since my last entry...

Let's start with Thursday. Hauled my ass out of bed at 6:00 AM, met Jeana at the tramway stop, went to the train station, met up with Candice and everyone else, and set off for St. Nazaire. Took lots of pictures, toured a museum about ships and their importance to Europe, at lunch on the beach, took pictures of Dan in his speedo-esque bathing suit (Claire made me do it.), ended up seeing a really cool Estuaire exhibit that made me want to have a seizure, almost passed out on the boat ride back to Nantes, searched for other Estuaire exhibits with Mandi, Jeana, Candice, and Claire, found one and looked around in it, and finally went back to my host's apartment, only to be asked why I was back so early.

Friday: no classes, but we did have a test. After the test, Jeana, Justin, and I all went to an Estuaire exhibit in Tour LU. There were actually two exhibits there. One was this odd video thing of this woman who was underwater, but it was three different videos of the same woman being shown on three different screens at the same time. Slightly confusing. The other one was really cool. You walk in the room, and all you see is a screen with light reflecting different patterns. When you walk around the screen, you see a pool of water directly in front of it with lights shining on the water. The patterns were reflections of the different ripples made in the water. I thought it was fascinating.

Saturday (yesterday) morning was spent at Commerce. I woke up early and met up with Jeana, and then we went to the flea market. It started off as disappointing, but I quickly found some really cool things. I bought three books for 2.50 euros. One has a picture of an old lady who looks too much like the equestrian team coach at Earlham. After the flea market, we walked around commerce and stopped into random shops, just looking at things. We also went to Beaulieu, where I got two much-needed tank tops to layer under my white hoodie.

I haven't done much today, but I think I'm going to go to a cafe (if I can find one that's open) after lunch and work on my homework. I also need to find a way to print out my paragraph on St. Nazaire.

I hope the rest of you are having great semesters!
